Pho Phuong

The phở is delicious and affordable. And they have wifi!

Picked up lunch on Sunday and ordered seafood phở (13.00), shrimp fresh rolls (4.00), and an avocado shake (5.00). The broth seemed pretty plain tasting for the darker color it presented with, which was surprising. The fresh rolls were good. Avocado shake was delicious because it was made with real. Fresh avocados vs a powder. Their credit card machine was down so they just took our credit card number to manually enter it. I’d much prefer that, than a cash only place like Phở Nho. I feel like i would enjoy the other dishes there because their menu is so huge! I will be returning to the restaurant to try their other dishes, like their bun (vermicelli) and their rice plates. The prices are a little on the higher side as well for a Vietnamese restaurant, however it’s ambience is much nicer and cleaner than some of the others out there as well. It’s worth a try.

I have been to three Phở restaurants in the neighbourhood (One on Ossington, the other on College) and now Phở Phuong. Although the portion for a large was a tiny bit smaller the quality of the food was very much worth it.
I order the beef and chicken phở (Number 49 on the menu) and I enjoyed it very much.
I ordered take-​out, however while paying and waiting for my food to be ready I did notice that the restaurant itself is very clean and easy on the eyes.
I will definitely be going back I am also very happy it is down the street from my house!

I have been going there for years, and they recently change ownership, I don’t really write reviews because I always believe business owners have a tough time with online reviews, and this could hurt their business, but I just can’t hold back on this one! Not only we found hairs (plural!!!) I drove back to return it, and the owner insisted its not my order and it was someone elses! I’m speechless and truly disappointed. Would absolutely not recommend to anyone

Good! Service needs work, a little disorganized, they mix up orders and tables.

I like the phở here, so I have kept coming back although the service really needs some work. Some of the staff is friendly and attentive, while others are rude, dismissive, and don’t actually listen to what you are ordering. Usually you have to chase down your server even when it’s not very busy. They have also messed up my take-​out order on more than one occasion, and were not at all accommodating when I called back to complain. This is especially frustrating because when you call to order they hang up really fast without confirming anything. Also their portion sizes are very inconsistent, as are the ingredients with take out orders. I have been here many times because it’s convenient and the food is pretty good, but I’m looking for a new phở place because I’m tired of all the mistakes.

Phở was ok, better still was the view of the bar I would be drinking at in an hours time.
Famous for birthing the motto: «Service with a vacant, ambivilant look.».

Dinner visit with friends after basketball. Upscale Vietnamese restaurant targeted at the Western market. Staff are Vietnamese so that’s a good start. Ordered Phở and Rice rolls. Both were good and same applies to the service. Prices slightly higher than the usual venues but not complaining since the establishment is much nicer. Overall, I would revisit and recommend others to give them a try

This is a nicer upscale looking vietnamese restaurant. The food here is very average, but the service here is hit or miss.

Phở Phuong has been on our regular list for a couple of years and in the last 6 months or so the food has been very up and down; at its best, it’s excellent — one of my favorite vietnamese restaurants. At its worst it’s mediocre. I’d love to give it 5 stars for the days that it’s on for me but it’s too inconsistent.
I would describe the service as authentic — meaning it’s up to you to get their attention at which point they are thorough, but don’t expect them to actually wait on you.
favorite dishes are the beef salad with mint, the beef rolls wrapped in «exotic leaf», the ribs braised in coconut juice, and the broken rice.
Last word — beware the satay soup on the specials menu. The last time I ordered it, it was the hottest thing I’ve ever eaten — and I like hot food.
We still go back, but a little less eagerly than we used to…

Pretty good, food, about the same as other vietnamese food I’ve had before. The place its self is really nice. Stands out in a pretty old and gritty neighborhood. Got a bowl with spring rolls with chicken and beef. By the end i was full and just for $ 10.

Food was really good and the restaurant itself is really clean and bright.
Food came quickly, but servers seemed indifferent. When I went to pay, the staff continued a conversation with each other and didn’t make eye contact with me. or even look in my direction. It was almost surreal.

*4 star for food*
*2 star for service*
I was in the area to see a show at Lula Lounge and checked restaurants (on Unilocal yeah!) around the venue. Surprisingly, a lot of restaurants that popped up were Vietnamese and I still had a Phở craving that was not satisfied (obviously) from Spring Rolls.
This resto is so close by (15 second walk) from Lula Lounge that it was a no brainer. The exterior looked clean and I could see that the interior was modern and spacious.
The menu is very extensive!!! and I could tell this place was authentic. How? All the Vietnamese patrons that were dining there: D My bf and I decided upon two small Phở’s, a Mango Salad with Chicken and my fave, Cold Spring rolls with Chicken. All I can say is YUMMMMMMMMMMMM! The rolls were so fresh that they were still warm. I could have ordered 4 more plates of those (each plate has two rolls). Then the Mango Salad was so refreshing and the hint of Mint just rounded the dish. They sure know how to pair taste combinations. Now, I don’t know my Phở’s, but the ones here were great in my mind. I had the Beef Ball and I slurped mine in no time.
Total damage for two people? $ 34. I just wish that this restaurant was located closer to me I have never been near the Dufferin and Dundas Street West area (very sketch IMHO) so it was great to see an eclectic group of resto’s popping up. Just down, down, the corner I saw Hogtown Café so really, lots of different cuisines to try.
Service was very indifferent. I wish it was better because the food was just so amazing. We had to ask for everything. No plates were given. No cutlery. Everything came out all at once. We had to give our order (piece of paper and you mark your items down) up front at the register. The only good thing? They bring your yummy food so quickly. If I am ever in the area, I am so coming back here!

One of the best Vietnamese places I‘ve tried in Toronto. Very fresh and very filling. I love Vietnamese coffee and this serves one of the best.

Had a great dinner with a Toronto Chum this week! Decoration in this place is clean with nice décor! Now to the food. We ordered a fresh spring roll and deep fried Spring roll. Both were nice and had good flavour and texture! Now to the main dish. I ordered a vermicelli with chicken and pork. It was a bit on the smaller side but that’s okay as I don’t want to get fat after all that holiday food! Definitely a nice experience and great food!

I’ve seen mixed reviews for Phở Phuong, many about the service. When I go for Phở, I’m usually prepared for service ranging from over enthusiastic to just sheer apathy so I try not to get too bothered about such things. In any case, I was more laser focused on judging the quality of their food.
In short, even though this is a bit far from my pad, I will make the drive as this is my new go to place. For starters my friend and I shared some fresh rolls with shrimp as well as the fresh rolls with grilled pork. Then I had the vermicelli with a mix of different beef rolls. The one roll in particular that really sealed the deal for me was the beef wrapped in a green leaf — it was totally succulent and tasty! In fact I’m getting hungry just thinking about it right now…
Give this place a try. You won’t regret it and if you do, I will buy your next Phở :)

I like this place. probably my fav vietnamese restaurant in the city because it isn’t intimidatingly hole in the wall.
AND the food is delicious. I’m a big fan of their broken rice dishes, phở and the savory pancake. OH and the fresh rolls are AWESOME here!

The veggie phở is very bland — you need to add a lot of sauce — they must use water instead of a Veggie Broth. Spring Rolls are pretty good.
Atmosphere is nice — pretty docor and large space. Service is mediochre.
I would recommend going to Phở Nho which is just up the street, instead.

I don’t know why I ended up at Phở Phuong!!! Yes my Unilocal app did send me here… having Vietnamese was the last thing on my mind when I venture into this part of town…
But Tuesdays seems to be one of those days that a lot of places in the area day of rest. I was thinking I going to hit Yours Truly… but no it is not open. How about Brockton General? no! Next… then I walked further west. on Dundas. on this cold winter evening… until I saw Phở Phuong.
On a cold day, a Phở is always good… and affordable? The Phở is OK here… but I was hungry and cold…
Service is as cold… but I got my food, I got my bill… and they seated me at a table with the full view of CP24… my chopsticks are not sticky…
I said Thank You when they served me my food and gave me the bill and the staffs nodded their heads… at least they did not ignore me.

First, let me say that I would rate Phở Phuong a «just there» 4. There’s a lot it does well, but nothing truly exceptional. Nothing blows me away, but I’ve never once been disappointed. It’s an excellent go-​to phở joint, and since it’s close to our home we go there a lot.
My favourite dish is the simple chicken phở, which comes with very nicely pre-​roasted chicken (rather than the boiled stuff you find at most phở joints). This adds a depth of flavour that really lifts this staple up. Definitely a **** rating for what would almost always be a *** or less at other, lesser, restaurants.
We’re always brought generous amounts of fresh basil, sprouts, and citrus (usually lime, though on a couple occasions it’s been lemon… probably due to lime suckage at the time).
Whenever I’ve ventured away from their many phos, I’ve been happy but not thrilled. Their dishes tend to be pretty run of the mill, albeit done very well. I don’t think you can go wrong, but you won’t necessarily have your socks knocked off by anything on the menu. Again, however, since this is just a straightforward phở joint, that isn’t a bad thing.
Outside of the food, the décor is very nice (if a bit pre-​fab, what with the fake orchids and other fake greenery), and I could definitely do without the televisions constantly playing the news. Service is pleasant albeit a tad slow from time to time.
All in all, quite happy with Phở Phuong. It’s not Hamilton’s B&T, but I’ve yet to find a place that comes close to rivaling that mecca of Viet/​Thai food in Toronto, let alone the rest of Ontario!
